Everyone loves entertainment. Whether you're into romantic
weepies, punk rock, or the Food Network, there's a niche to
fit virtually every artistic taste. TV, film,
music, theater, and even radio continue to be strongholds in
the vast world of entertainment, but with the growth of the
Internet and digital media, new technologies only increase
the ways in which we are entertained- and the opportunities
to make your own career a part of that process.
Plus, you don't have to be a performer to participate. Do you
love the magic of movies, but have no desire to get in front
of the camera? Are you a music buff, but can't sing to save
your life? Never fear. Although entertainment is usually
equated with the big-name movie stars and musicians that make
it seem so glamorous in the first place, it could not
exist without the thousands of professionals that
create, produce, and support the films, TV shows, theater
productions, and radio programs that we so eagerly consume.
Advertising, engineering, business, sales, and production are
just a few of the areas that are fundamental to the
entertainment industry that can make great
careers for non-performers. Although a college
degree isn't as necessary as talent and experience are for an
aspiring performer, it's often a requisite in other fields. A
degree in accounting, finance, or business is necessary to
work in the financial arena. Degrees in journalism and
communications are most practical for careers in
television and radio broadcasting. Movie studios and
production companies have lawyers, too, but you're going to
need that law degree to be one.
